Shards

Skies bleeding grey  
Rain covers my lovelorn face  
As I question my existence  
And try to make sense of....  
Loss  
 
Loss of innocence  
In an unforgiving world  
That uses up what it wants  
Then casts the rest  
In the garbage bin  
 
I watch the trees grow, bloom,  
Wither and fade  
Much like my heart  
Given away....  
Only to be raped  
 
You said forever  
But forever was just a word  
That one day you could use  
To crush and hurt  
 
While you live out your twisted dreams  
Of a madness only you understand  
I'm left to pick up  
Shards of a broken life....  
With my bloodied hands
